yaa yaa yaa and you bitc* all day long about me say blah blah blah from lack of English knowledge blah blah blah but seriously DUDES, when you publish TR or whatever climbing report in English, please use common English terms instead of jugging or ......so other non English climbers could understand WTF you are talking about.

like rap off


yaa I know what it means but I have to constantly email people saying; it means......whatever

* Bouldering – Climbing on boulders low to the ground and not requiring ropes.
* Jug or Jugging – Ascending a rope by means of mechanical equipment or knots.
* Crux – The hardest move or section of a climb.
* Rap – Short form of rappel, using a rope to descend from a climb.
* Crag – Rock cliffs
* Pitch as in Multi-Pitch – approximately one rope length (about 120-150′)
* Tinnies – Canned beer. This is more a Commonwealth term than a climbing term.




Thanks for your cooperation

DUDE. The other day I was jugging up this gnarly bouldering route and when I reached the sketch-o-matic crux, I realized I left all of my tinnies in the car. Damn Bro! At first I thought it was a highball, but then I reached some rap anchors! What in the shizzy yo? Then I saw something glinting about me...sort of like my tinnies that glint in the sun. Beautiful. And that is when my broseph spot yelled "Yo bro. That is multi-pitch. Not highball. Hella sketch! Retreat!" So, I had to reverse jug down that scree pile. And by the time I got my ass in the safety zone, my spot had downed every last tinnie.

seriously guys, if one of you ever wanted to translate any of John Long's climbing stories to other languages, it can never be done right.

Has Trainspotting or A Clockwork Orange ever been translated into a foreign language? I wonder how that worked out.

I am not sure if anyone ever translated any of his stuff but American climbers in particular have funny way of saying things which I have difficulty translating in my native language. in English ,you could use one word which can be an entire sentence in other languages and I seriously hate using several unnecessary words instead of just using one.

So here is one example ; how would you define climbing hold?

is this right ?

A climbing hold is a shaped grip that is usually attached to a climbing wall so climbers can grab or step on it. On most walls, climbing holds are arranged in paths, called routes, by specially trained route setters. Climbing holds come in a large array of sizes and shapes to provide different levels of challenge to a climber. Climbing holds are either bolted to a wall via hex-head bolts and existing t-nuts or they are screwed on with several small screws. In extreme cases, concrete anchors may be used (if putting holds on the underside of a bridge, for example).

Es brillig war. Die schlichte Toven
Wirrten und wimmelten in Waben;
Und aller-mümsige Burggoven
Die mohmen Räth' ausgraben

Bewahre doc vor Jammerwoch!
Die Zähne knirschen, Krallen kratzen!
Bewahr' vor Jubjub--Vogel, vor
Frumiösen Banderschnätzchen!

Er griff sein vorpals Schwertchen zu,
Er suchte lang das manscham' Ding;
Dann, stehend unten Tumtum Baum,
Er an-zu-denken-fing.

Als stand er tief in Andacht auf,
Des Jammerwochen's Augen-feuer
Durch tulgen Wald mit wiffek kam
Ein burbelnd uhgeheuer!

Eins, Zwei! Eins, Zwei! Und durch und durch
Sein vorpals Schwert zerschnifer-schnück,
Da blieb es todt! Er, Kopf in Hand,
Geläumfig zog zurück.

Und schlugst Du ja den Jammerwoch?
Umarme mich, mien B&oumlhm' sches Kind!
O Freuden-Tag! O Halloo-Schlag!
Er chortelt froh-gesinnt.

Es brillig war. Die schlichte Toven

I would substitute "clueless adolescents, most of whom have never climbed on real rock a day in their lives" for "specially trained route setters." Otherwise, it looks good.

Awesome translation!

"Halloo-Schlag" ist "Callooh! Callay!", etc?

I really expected the nonsense words to be left intact since they would be nonsense "auf Deutsch" automatically.

I don't know when most of the translations were originally done, but the made-up words have been translated into many languages. German, French, Latin, Hebrew... and so on. It's a curious thing.

That's a beautiful sounding translation (though I don't speak enough German to actually read it). I immediately recognized it for what it was. Powerful stuff.

I don't know - translating the made-up words allows for rhyming & a more natural sound in whatever language.
